How do we know that intercession for others is important?

Answered in 1 source

Intercession for others is important as it reflects Christ’s work of mediation and demonstrates love and care within the Christian community.

The act of intercession is crucial in the Christian faith, seen vibrantly in Paul's appeal for Onesimus to Philemon. It reveals a heart aligned with Christ, who intercedes for us before the Father. Hebrews 7:25 states, 'He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.' This emphasizes that as Christ mediates our relationship with God, we are also called to pray and intercede for one another, fostering unity and encouragement in the body of Christ. Our prayers for others serve both as an expression of love and as means by which God works His purposes in their lives.
